Backhaul Services
Get on the Tropicana Train!
At Tropicana, we have proudly been shipping our orange juice in refrigerated railcars for over 30 years.
Working with our rail partners CSX and the UP, we have developed a reliable rail network that provides a
high level of customer service and satisfaction to our distribution centers.
In March 2005, Tropicana established a backhaul services group to begin utilizing the boxcars returning to
Florida. This group offers rail transportation and transload services.
If you have products shipping to Florida from the Northeast, the Midwest, or California you should explore
using the Tropicana Train.
